"Open the door first and go in." Tian Jun parked his bicycle and handed the water bottle and bag to the girl.
Shang Ruirui took the things and without looking at the sloppy man who stood up with the help of the stone lion, she took out the key and opened the door.
After the girl entered the door, Tian Jun started to curse at the middle-aged man with shaking legs, and then, before the middle-aged man could react, he quickly punched him.
With his strength, one punch wouldn't kill the person, but would at least take away half of his body.
But he held back his strength and only beat the man until he retched. Then, while he was bending over and wailing, he grabbed his belt with one hand and easily lifted him to the entrance of the alley not far away as if he were lifting a chicken and threw him out like garbage.
There were two young men hiding in the alley. They saw this scene and moved back in fear, not even noticing that the cigarette they were holding in their mouths to pretend to be cool had fallen.
Tian Jun looked at the two of them for a few seconds and then stopped looking at them. He didn't even say a threatening word and turned away.
Then, I saw the girl who was supposed to go into the house was peeking over here.
Seeing this, Tian Jun smiled slightly and took bigger steps.
After finding out that the man had seen her, Shang Ruirui simply stopped hiding and stood at the door openly, smiling brightly at him.
"Did you see it?" After getting closer, Tian Jun no longer saw fear on the girl's face, and he felt a little relieved.
"Yeah, I saw it, it's really refreshing."
Tian Jun curled his lips: "If you are not afraid, then go ahead."
What's there to be afraid of? If she didn't have the ability, Shang Ruirui would have wanted to beat him up a long time ago.
So...the man asked her to go inside first because he was worried that she would be scared?
Thinking of this, Shang Ruirui turned around and prepared to close the door, then quietly glanced at the man again.
"You don't need to close the door." Tian Jun reminded.
Shang Ruirui suddenly realized, and when she opened the door, she smiled reluctantly: "I'm used to it."
Neighbors are very friendly these days and like to visit each other, so it is rare for a shop to close on a Sunday.
But Shang Ruirui lives with only her mother at home, and she always feels uneasy if the door is not closed.
Tian Jun looked at the unnatural smile on her lips, raised his hand and gently rubbed the girl's head: "If you don't want to smile, don't force yourself."
Shang Ruirui still smiled: "It's not that difficult actually. The neighbors are pretty nice."
Otherwise, she and her mother would not be able to hold the table. She was reluctant to keep talking about this topic, as she felt like she was playing a victim. So she pointed to the wisteria trellis in the yard and said, "We didn't talk much at your house just now. How about we sit for a while? I'll make some tea."
Tian Jun nodded in response, and then asked curiously, "Do you have this flower at home too?"
Shang Ruirui was heading to the kitchen. Upon hearing this, she smiled and said without turning her head, "That's called purple wisteria. There are many families growing it in Beijing."
Wisteria? Without any romantic ideas, Tian Jun thought the name sounded pretty good.
However, he did not rush to sit down under the wisteria trellis, but instead looked around the small courtyard.
The business is a courtyard house, the area is not small, especially the yard is very large, not only flowers and vegetables are planted, but also pomegranate trees...
"Where is Ruirui's home?" Just then, a crisp female voice came from the door.
Tian Jun turned around and found that it was a auntie who was about fifty years old.
The aunt was holding a porcelain bowl in her hand and her eyes were staring at him curiously.
Shang Ruirui came out of the kitchen after hearing the noise. She saw who was coming and replied with a smile without any surprise, "What about you? Is Aunt Meifeng taking a break today?"
"Yes, I'm taking a day off from someone. So, I made some cakes and gave some to you and your mother to try. Do you... have guests?" Although Zhu Meifeng was talking to the little girl, her eyes were always on the stranger young man.
She just saw that this young man was very strong.
Of course, she came here in a hurry, one because she was curious about the other party's identity, and the other because she was worried about the Shang family.
Shang Ruirui knew the other party's curiosity, but she didn't feel disgusted. Aunt Meifeng had always taken good care of their family. She reached out to take the bowl, pursed her lips, and smiled shyly: "It's my friend, Tian Jun."
"My friend...haha, you are a very energetic boy with a strong body." Seeing that the little girl was shy, Meifeng stretched out her voice and used an ambiguous tone, but she was very happy in her heart. This kid has found the right one.
Tian Jun took the bowl from the little girl, nodded at her, and said politely, "Auntie."
"Hey, hey, hey! Look, young man, are you a soldier?" It's no wonder she asked that, because green military uniforms are everywhere these days.
Tian Jun: "Yes, join the army."
"Oh, that's what I was thinking. Look at your figure. You wear your military uniform so neatly. You must be a soldier. Which unit are you from?"
"The province of H."
"That's... that's quite far." The train would take four or five days, right? For Zhu Meifeng, who had never been out of Beijing in her life, such a long distance was hard to imagine.
If this were to happen, how would she protect Shang Jia, an orphan and a widow, in the future? She couldn't help showing some of her worries on her face.
Seeing this, Shang Ruirui explained in a low voice: "Tian Jun will go to the military academy in Beijing for further studies in the next few years." As for the future, let's talk about it later.
Hearing this, Zhu Meifeng slapped her thigh and was genuinely happy: "Oh, you guys are from college? This guy, this guy, you two are a perfect match...Okay, you two can chat, I'll go back first."
As he spoke, he winked at Shang Ruirui covertly, with a frivolous expression.
After everyone left, Shang Ruirui tried to ignore the shame brought by the word "well-matched" just now, and led the man to the wisteria trellis: "Aunt Meifeng is very enthusiastic and has helped my family a lot over the years. She should be more curious about you and has no bad intentions. Don't be embarrassed."
Tian Jun put the bowl in his hand on the rattan table: "I understand."
Seeing that he really didn't take it to heart, Shang Ruirui went to the kitchen to get some tea.
After she placed the tea on the table, she handed the man a pair of chopsticks and said, "Aunt Meifeng is an expert at making sugar cakes. These should have just come out of the pot not long ago. It's the best time to eat them. Try some."
In fact, Tian Jun didn’t like sweets very much, but seeing that the girl looked happy and wanted to share it with him, he didn’t spoil her mood and took a piece.
"Don't like sweet food?" Shang Ruirui is a very thoughtful person. Although the man only ate two pieces, he drank half a glass of water.
"I'm not picky about food." This is the truth. When I was a child, hunger was the norm. To be honest, I was just afraid of being hungry. So he was really not picky about food. It's just that he prefers salty food to sweet food.
Shang Ruirui curved her eyebrows and said nothing more, but she kept in mind that men don't like sweet food...
On a blind date, if you want to get to know each other quickly, chatting is a very effective way. She wants to understand Tian Jun, and she also wants him to understand her better.
So after swallowing the food in her mouth, Shang Ruirui put down her chopsticks, picked up the teacup and said, "I wasn't picky before, but I've gotten older in the past few years, so I can't help but be a little picky. I quite like sweet tastes."
Tian Jun asked: "What do you like to eat?"
Shang Ruirui is a girl with a gentle temperament and speaks in a soft voice. If you don’t know her as a person, just looking at her appearance, you will think she is gentle, with no temper and no stubbornness.
In fact, this is not the case. In essence, she is a very thoughtful person. When facing the person she likes, she will dare to fight for him no matter how embarrassed she is.
For example, at this moment, after listening to the man's words, she listed seven or eight kinds of snacks that she liked to eat. At the end, she blushed and asked in a teasing manner: "Do you want to buy them for me in the future?"
Tian Jun curled his lips and looked straight at him: "Well, I'll buy it for you."
I didn't expect him to admit it directly. Shang Ruirui was stunned for a moment and her face turned red instantly. She wanted to ask what he meant.
Do you already feel that they can become rivals?
still...
"Is Xiu Wen's home?" Just as Shang Ruirui's heart began to bubble with pink bubbles because of various speculations, there was movement at the door again.
This time, there was more than one person.
Shang Ruirui and Tian Jun had just walked to the middle of the yard when they saw several familiar faces entering their yard.
"They are all my neighbors." Maybe I shouldn't bring anyone home today, it would delay her time to get along with them. What if they get scared away? The girl who looked like a lady from a noble family thought to herself.
She hated inappropriate gossip the most.
But chasing people away won't work either.
So, during the ambiguous period of the young people, seven or eight aunts inserted their hard dicks into their bodies.
These people were not as tactful as Aunt Meifeng. They moved stools and formed a circle around the young man, asking questions at once:
"Rui Rui? Who is this? I've never seen her before."
"Is there any need to ask? Right, where is this guy from? What is his job?"
"Join the army, huh? How much do you make a month? Can you catch up with me?"
"Hey, officers are just as good as ordinary people. Soldiers don't have much money and can hardly support themselves."
"... Ruirui, I'm not saying anything to you, but you've found such a rival, does Xiuwen know that? If I were to say, my nephew who's an apprentice at the slaughterhouse is better than a soldier, and there are so many girls who are looking forward to him."
After these words were spoken, everyone looked over in confusion.
The person who was speaking was called Wang Mei, and she lived in a courtyard house on the street behind the house.
Although they are all courtyard houses, there are still differences.
For example, in this area nearby, there are very few houses with their own doors and yards. Most of the houses are crowded with four or five families, or even more.
Wang Mei's family is like this. Four generations, more than a dozen people, squeezed into a house of about 30 square meters.
She had always wanted to find a big house, but her family had no money, so her eyes naturally set on Shang Ruirui, and she wanted to introduce her nephew who was learning skills in a slaughterhouse to Shang Ruirui.
Wang Mei felt that she was not one of those conscienceless people who wanted to eat up the family income. You know, her nephew was about to graduate, and at that time the family could eat meat every other day. That was the highest condition, and they were a perfect match.
If this works out, as her aunt and matchmaker, it wouldn't be a big deal to give her a house to live in in the future, right? Anyway, her nephew is happy with it.
Seeing that her chance of survival was about to run out, Wang Mei naturally disliked this soldier who suddenly appeared.
The smile on Shang Ruirui's face faded. She had never cared about Tian Jun's salary and benefits, so what did the man in front of her mean to her?
Looks gentle, but actually very aggressive. The little girl opened her mouth, ready to argue.
Unexpectedly, there was a sound of a car suddenly coming from outside the gate.
Tian Jun stood up.
He is very tall and has a sturdy build. When he stands up like this, with a stern face, he gives people a very imposing feeling.
Wang Mei, in particular, felt her scalp tighten and she moved her butt a little uncomfortably. She couldn't sit or stand, always fearing that the other party's sandbag-like fist would hit her.
Just when she was wondering whether to retreat strategically first or stand firm, she saw the fierce young man nodded at them and walked out quickly.
"What...what's going on?" Someone looked at Shang Ruirui in confusion, wondering if she was annoyed by their nagging.
